Chapter 14: Moving Forward
David was about to reach the exit and raised his hand to greet the two men who were there to meet him.
At that moment, two tall men suddenly showed their badges to the staff maintaining order at the exit, then walked quickly through the exit fence towards David.
not good!
It seems that what Xiao Lili said was true.
David's brow twitched suddenly. Just as he was about to speak, the two men who rushed in showed him their identification. Before David could even see what was written on it, the two men grabbed his arms.
"Chen Dawei, come with us."
Without saying a word, one of the men snatched David's briefcase, while the other took his suitcase. The two men each grabbed one of his arms and dragged David away.
As they passed the exit, the two men holding signs also saw Chen Dawei, but since they had never met him in person, they could only treat it as a spectacle.
Chen Dawei felt this was his last chance, so he shouted at the two men holding up the signs.
"I am Chen Dawei, I am Chen Dawei."
The two people holding up the signs exchanged a glance, unsure of what to do.
However, they were there on orders from above, and if the other party really was Chen Dawei, they would not be able to explain themselves to their superiors if they did not intervene at this time.
The two men holding the sign immediately came over and stopped the two staff members of the Kyoto office.
"Who are you?" one of the people from the Kyoto office asked irritably.
The two staff members who came to pick up David showed their credentials.
The staff at the Kyoto office were stunned when they saw the documents.
One of the people who came to pick them up stepped forward with a serious expression and shouted sternly, "Which department are you from?!"
The two officers from the Kyoto office exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with panic, then dropped Dawei's belongings and ran away on the spot.
"Call the airport police station and check them out," the man who had just been shouting ordered.
The other person who was picking them up immediately took out their phone.
David gestured with his hand and whispered, "No need, I know who they are."
The two people who were picking them up hesitated for a moment. Dawei had just glanced at their identification; both of them were staff members of the Discipline Inspection Commission office.
No wonder he had such a powerful aura; he scared those two guys away.
Those who navigate the officialdom are most afraid of seeing disciplinary committee members flash their credentials.
"Let's hurry up and leave, so as not to keep Miss Wang waiting," Dawei urged.
The two people who were picking him up exchanged glances, then led David out of the airport and into a black Audi A6.
On the way, the man sitting in the passenger seat asked, "Comrade Dawei, who were the people who intercepted you at the airport?"
"It's the Kyoto office. Some people in our county were worried that I was coming to Kyoto to file a complaint, so they had someone stop me at the airport."
"That's utterly ridiculous!"
The passenger in the front seat shook his head, took out his phone, edited a text message, and sent the situation here to his superior.
David did not stop him from working.
This is exactly what he wanted to see.
This also confirmed his previous suspicion: Old Wang's adopted son was the same Wang Guozheng that he had heard about on the radio.
Only he could get these two comrades to come and pick him up.
……
At this moment, in a room at the Guohao Hotel in Yuanshan County.
Lin Wangyou, from the county discipline inspection commission, had just hung up a phone call from an acquaintance at the Beijing office. After putting down his phone, he reached for a cigarette in a flustered manner.
I tried twice, but couldn't get the cigarette out.
Enraged, he tore the cigarette pack to shreds, picked up a cigarette from the pile of cigarettes scattered on the table, and lit it.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.
"Holy crap..."
Why are the Kyoto Discipline Inspection Commission people here?
Lin Wangyou was stunned.
What is Chen Dawei up to?
Could it be that he had already contacted the comrades of the Kyoto Discipline Inspection Commission before he went there?
Could it be that he really intends to file a complaint?
With a quick glance around, this guy, who had been in the officialdom of Yuanshan County for over twenty years and was known as the Black-Faced Yama, was completely flustered. He shakily took out his phone to call Wu Maocai.
Instead of dialing, he went directly to the room next door and knocked on Wu Maocai's door.
Last night, all of them went to get a foot massage. After they were done, they didn't go home but stayed at Guohao's place.
Wu Maocai represented Xie Changhe. Lin Wangyou felt that he was of a lower rank than Xie Changhe and it was inappropriate for him to directly contact Xie Changhe for everything.
At this point, it's even more inappropriate to directly approach Zhou Xiangzhang.
It was Zhou Xiangzhang's idea to call the people at the Beijing office to stop Chen Dawei; he did not consult Zhou Xiangzhang beforehand.
The situation in Kyoto is still unclear, and reporting this to Zhou Xiangzhang at this time will only invite criticism.
In the county government building, the most educated and intelligent person is Wu Maocai.
"Old Lin?" Wu Maocai, shirtless, yawned. "So early? Didn't you say you were going to sleep until noon and then come downstairs for lunch?"
"I have something to tell you."
Lin Wangyou entered the room with a serious expression, sat down, and briefly explained the situation in Kyoto.
"Maocai, give me some advice, what should we do now?"
Wu Maocai pushed up his glasses, his eyes darting quickly from side to side. Looking at Lin Wangyou's flustered expression, he already had a conclusion in mind:
Chen Dawei has connections in Beijing!
Lin Wangyou has always been domineering and fearless. If even he is so frightened, this must be no small matter.
You can't step in right now.
Last night, while we were playing mahjong in the Guohao Hotel room, it was Lin Wangyou who suggested calling the people at the Liaison Office in Kyoto.
He asked Xie Changhe for his opinion, but not Wu Maocai's.
Wu Maocai can completely extricate himself from this matter.
If he gets involved now, he'll also be held responsible when Zhou Xiangzhang blames him later.
"I don't think there's anything to worry about. It's just two comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission coming to pick him up. What's the big deal?"
"That's the Kyoto Discipline Inspection Commission!"
"I know," Wu Maocai said calmly. "I'm asking you, what evidence does he have? To file a report, you need evidence and materials, right? Does he have any?"
Lin Wangyou stroked his chin and shook his head.
He personally investigated Chen Dawei, checking everything from his computer and phone to searching the entire apartment in City Garden, but found no evidence that Chen Dawei had hidden that could be detrimental to them.
"That's it."
So what are you worried about?
And another thing, have you ever seen a discipline inspection commission pick someone up from the airport when handling a case?
Will you go?
Lin Wangyou chuckled and shook his head. Of course he wouldn't do that. He would either go directly to the other party's workplace to pick them up or summon them by phone.
Who's going to pick them up?
Where is the dignity?
This is indeed somewhat unusual.
It seems Chen Dawei really didn't go there to complain.
"Then, what exactly did he go to do? Was he really going to a funeral?"
Wu Maocai pursed his lips and pondered for a moment: "Maybe."
Perhaps the teacher he mentioned is from the Kyoto Disciplinary Committee?
Everyone has a few relatives and friends who have status or influence.
Moreover, he is a graduate of CUHK with a master's degree.
If someone passes away, it's possible that their workplace could send someone to help pick up those coming to pay their respects.
If he really wanted to sue, he would have gone to Kyoto when you were dealing with Qiao Yong.
Why wait until today?
Lin Wangyou agreed, nodding slowly, "Could it be that he's recently met someone new?"
"Do you think this is a TV drama? You can't just get to know someone like that just because the leader says so. If you're really worried, you should report it to Secretary Zhou and see what his opinion is."
Lin Wangyou waved his hands repeatedly: "This matter hasn't been clarified yet. Secretary Zhou is receiving the city's investigation team. Let's not trouble him. I'll call Xiao Lili and ask. Chen Dawei is one of her subordinates."
That old fox isn't stupid; he's very cautious.
I immediately called Xiao Lili. She hadn't slept well last night and felt incredibly empty and lonely, so she answered the phone impatiently.
"what?"
"Something came up..."
Lin Wangyou recounted the story again, and then asked Xiao Lili if Chen Dawei had been getting close to any leaders recently.
Xiao Lili, still sleepy, sat up in bed. Her large, strappy nightgown slipped off her shoulders, revealing her large, white breasts, but she was completely unaware of it.
One person immediately flashed into my mind: Old Wang.
Old Wang was approached by a leader from the city's Organization Department, who asked her to send someone to take care of him.
Many leaders in the county were unaware that Old Wang was receiving treatment and recuperating at the Yuanshan County People's Hospital.
At the time, she only heard that the old man was very troublesome and a troublemaker, so she handed him over to Chen Dawei.
Later, while watching TV and overhearing discussions among some of her colleagues at the Bureau of Veterans Affairs, she finally connected Old Wang with that national-level leader.
Could it be that David has established contact with Wang Guozheng?
It can't be that fast, can it?
He's only known Old Wang for less than a month. Old Wang wouldn't be so supportive of Dawei, would he?
But what other possibilities are there besides this one?
Xiao Lili became nervous, but at the same time, she was glad that she had tipped off Dawei last night.
You made the right bet!
"No, who could he possibly know?"
If we knew each other, would you let us bully us like this?
Just last night, a traffic police squad leader dared to stop his car.
What power could he possibly have?
Lin Wangyou chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself, "That makes sense."
Qiu Yuanzhang, a traffic police officer, is a section-level cadre, a minor figure in the officialdom who is "not ranked".
Even such a nobody dared to stop Chen Dawei's car and give him attitude.
What power does Chen Dawei have?
He might know some teacher, but the relationship is very casual, so casual that Chen Dawei wouldn't even get close to them if they weren't dead.
"Your analysis is correct. Come on, come over to Guohao for dinner later, and then we'll play a few rounds of mahjong."
"No, I need to get my hair done."
"With such beautiful hair, why bother doing anything else?"
"I need to get a black hair treatment; that'll make it look dark and shiny. But never mind, I can't explain it to you."
"Okay, then we'll look for more people."
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Lili pulled up her tank top, looked at her pale body, and couldn't help but sigh.
What's the point of raising such a good pet if nobody loves it?
Seemingly remembering something, she quickly sent a message to David.
"Dawei, you've arrived in Kyoto, right? Are you alright?"
"It's okay, but thank you for reminding me anyway. Those people really did come to the airport to stop me, but my friend chased them away."
Upon hearing the word "friend," Xiao Lili became even more convinced of her judgment.
This guy must have made contact with Old Wang's family.
"It's good that you're alright."
You've studied so hard for so many years, wasn't it all for the purpose of entering officialdom and realizing your ambitions?
I may have gone too far before, but I also had my reasons, and I hope you can understand.
Deep down, I still admire you; Yuanshan County needs talents like you.
I'll take your resignation as something you said in anger.
The spot is still reserved for you.
"Take care of your business first, we'll talk when you get back."
Xiao Lili typed quickly.
These are words that can only be said in a text message.
When they met, she was still a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Dawei was sitting in his Audi, looking at the bustling city of Kyoto, and then at Xiao Lili's text message, feeling a mix of emotions.
Dawei is a lone official without any backing; anyone can kick him while he's down. Xiao Lili's words just now were enough to warm his heart.
He desperately needs friends.
Even if this "friend" was once an enemy who had bullied him, as long as this person still has a shred of kindness and is not utterly wicked, Dawei is willing to accept them at this time.
He's having such a hard time...
"it is good."
David replied.
The car continued moving forward.
After turning the corner, we drove into a famous university in Kyoto and stopped in front of an old house dating back to the 1970s or 1980s.
